**11. Suggested topics for discussion**\\

__Clarification of new arrangements (NLIVL)__: No charges unis/special libraries if reciprocal? ILRS loan restrictions.\\ 
A: Yes if a Uni/special library is listed in reciprocal network there are no charges. They may, however, be in both the reciprocal and pay for peer tiers so worth sending a note or chat request to specify what you are willing to pay.\\
System will not link to specific policy – can just say no and why\\

__Other request methods__
Waverley: Requests available via Webcat, logins supplied upon request-a more streamlined. Q: Is Noosa Library using email requests? A: I don't believe so. Noosa reached out to some Libraries recently asking for access to their local accounts to reserve direct instead on email.\\
Georges River: Email quickest way for them to get items as may get waylaid on pick-list if under external Library name.\\
Central Coast: Has been able to set up reciprocal requests with Bond University.\\
